Tournament time means paying more attention to defense with so much at stake. This is also a neutral-site game in Florida, which can negatively impact both offenses. No. 10 seed Stetson is eighth in the 12-team Atlantic Sun Conference in points scored (76.9 per game) and 10th from the charity stripe (.706), while the defense is sixth in shooting allowed (.469) and No. 1 at defending beyond the arc. Stetson is on a 16-11 run UNDER the total. No. 7 seed Eastern Kentucky's offense is 10th in the conference in field goal shooting (.452), and this total is too high. Take Stetson/Eastern Kentucky UNDER the total.

Pro Picks
Stetson at Eastern Kentucky
The Stetson Hatters are an ugly 5-14 on the season, going 1-6 on the road. They take on Eastern Kentucky, who enters the game at 9-10. Stetson can be summed up as a poor shooting team, that does not defend the 3-point shot well. Eastern Kentucky does not shoot the ball well either ,as the Colonels are connecting on just 41% of their shots, and aren't good enough from 3 to exploit that weakness of the Hatters. The Colonels are shooting just 32% from three-point range. Eastern Kentucky likes to run, but Stetson likes the half-court game, and getting into the mid-150's is going to be a challenge in this game. Make the play UNDER the total.
